🐢 Do you know the leatherback sea turtle? The leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) surfaces to breathe. 🌊 Like all sea turtles, it is an air-breathing reptile and must regularly return to the surface to take in oxygen before continuing its journey through the ocean.

Did you know? The leatherback sea turtle is the largest turtle in the world. They are the only species of sea turtle that lack scales and a hard shell.

Leatherbacks are highly migratory, some swimming over 10,000 miles a year between nesting and foraging grounds. They are also accomplished divers with the deepest recorded dive reaching nearly 4,000 feet—deeper than most marine mamma

🧐 How do leatherback sea turtles find each other to mate? Great question... and honestly, scientists don't really know! Only in the last few years have researchers captured rare footage — thanks to drones and fishing boats — showing male and female interactions. But exactly how they locate one another? Still a mystery! It seems like a mix of chance and migrating to the same areas during breeding season. Nature’s matchmaking at its finest! 💫 This video is part of the 2025 Coastal Lecture Series
